Not everyday on earth has to be exciting and action-packed. Some days are just filled with the usual stuff. Waking, eating, writing, cooking, watching some TV, and hanging out with the homies (literally, the people at home 😂).

Not in America anymore, Toto
Finally, I was able to get out of Orlando for a while. Monday prior I left America for Trinidad and Tobago. Locals here simply refer to it as T & T or TT.

Small boat plus big ocean equals bad idea??
Back a few years ago when I was a brand-new Floridian I decided to go on a deep-sea fishing trip with a good friend.
